She has also appeared in several comic book series, including the Sláine, which featured two runs, titled " Demon Killer " and " Queen of Witches " giving a free interpretation of Boudica's story.

The story of the legion's role in Boudica's Rebellion and the subsequent suicide of its acting commander features in Imperial Governor, George Shipway's 1968 novel about Gaius Suetonius Paulinus.

The location of Boudica's defeat is unknown.

* Caratacus (' Caratach ') is anachronistically depicted as Boudica's general in John Fletcher's play Bonduca ( 1613 ).

The suggestion is that this contributed to Boudica's rebellion, and so possibly to his own fall.

The absence of native British literature during the early part of the first millennium means that Britain's native cultural and historical knowledge of Boudica's rebellion, with anything else of pre-Roman occupation, is solely due to the deliberate erasure of indigenous culture with the subsequently revised public image transformed from the propaganda writings of Romans.

According to folklore, King's Cross is the site of Boudica's final battle and perhaps she is buried under one of the platforms.

King's Cross was originally named Battle Bridge, referring to an ancient bridge over The Fleet where Boudica's army is said to have fought an important battle against the Romans.

Tacitus, who wrote of the battle more than fifty years later, claims to relate Boudica's speech to her followers: " But now ," she said, " it is not as a woman descended from noble ancestry, but as one of the people that I am avenging lost freedom, my scourged body, the outraged chastity of my daughters.

More recently, a discovery of Roman artefacts in Kings Norton close to Metchley Camp has suggested another possibility, and a thorough examination of a stretch of Watling Street between St. Albans, Boudica's last known location, and the Fosse Way junction has suggested the Cuttle Mill area of Paulerspury in Northamptonshire, which has topography very closely matching that described by Tacitus of the scene of the battle.

Tacitus then states that the Romans responded to Boudica's attack by slaughtering as many as 70, 000 Britons in the Battle of Watling Street.

Boudica's rebellion in 60 AD, caused by the imposition of direct rule by the Romans, was followed by order and peace, which lasted until the Roman armies left Britain in 410 AD.

Boudica's husband Prasutagus, ruler of the Iceni tribe, who had ruled as a nominally independent ally of Rome, left his kingdom jointly to his daughters and the Roman Emperor in his will.

The absence of native British literature during the early part of the first millennium means that Britain owes its knowledge of Boudica's rebellion solely to the writings of the Romans.

Boudica's army fell on the poorly defended city and destroyed it, besieging the last defenders in the temple for two days before it fell.

While Boudica's army continued their assault in Verulamium ( St. Albans ), Suetonius regrouped his forces.

Dio says that, even if they were lined up one deep, they would not have extended the length of Boudica's line.

The Roman soldiers, who had now used up their pila, were then able to engage Boudica's second wave in the open.

Agricola was a military tribune under Suetonius Paulinus, which almost certainly gave Tacitus an eyewitness source for Boudica's revolt.

It was in the Victorian era that Boudica's fame took on legendary proportions as Queen Victoria was seen to be Boudica's " namesake.

The 2012 Big Finish Productions Doctor Who audio play The Wrath of the Iceni starring Tom Baker takes place during Boudica's uprising against the Romans.

Cassius Dio, on the other hand, tells an alternative version of Boudica's death, simply saying that she " fell sick and died.

According to Cassius Dio, Boudica's forces impaled Roman captives during her rebellion against the Roman occupation, to the accompaniment of revelry and sacrifices in the sacred groves of Andate.

Boudica's legendary fame during the Victorian era, when Queen Victoria was portrayed as her ' namesake ', restored a historical and cultural foundation to Britain.

It is worth dwelling in some detail on the crisis of this story, because it brings together a number of characteristic elements and makes of them a curious, riddling compound obscurely but centrally significant for Mann's work.

that is, he is suspect, guilty, punishable, as is anyone in Mann's stories who produces illusion, and this is true even though the constant elements of the artist-nature, technique, magic, guilt and suffering, are divided in this story between Jacoby and Lautner.

It is the gradual unfolding and deepening of this contradiction which creates the inner dialectic of the evolution of the mystery story.

It is the growing contradiction between individualism and public service in the mystery story which creates this fatal dilemma.

And the best way to conceal and disguise the elements of an incest story is not to set out to write an incest story.

`` The Rocking Horse Winner '' is also a story about a boy's love for his mother.

It is the story of the hopeless love of a little boy for his cold and vain mother.

The rocking is actually felt in the story, a terrible and ominous rhythm that prophesies the tragedy.

The rocking, I realized, is the single element in the story that carries the erotic message, the unspoken and unconscious undercurrent that would mar the innocence of a child's fantasy and disturb the effects of the work if it were made explicit.

And when the child dies in Lawrence's story in a delirium that is somehow brought on by his mania to win and to make his mother rich, the manifest absurdity of such a disease and such a death does not enter into our thoughts at all.

It is most probable that Freud and the Oedipus complex never entered his head in the writing of this story.

An ivory tablet in the infant's cask recounts the story of his sinful origins and is preserved for the child by the monks of a monastery in the fishing village.

Then he would get to his feet, as though rising in honor of his own remarkable powers, and say almost invariably, `` Gentlemen, this is an amazing story!!

Perhaps it is only an analogy, but one of the most obvious differences between cheap fiction and fiction of an enduring quality is the development of a theme or story with leisure and anticipation.

The complexities of Venetian politics eluded him, but the story of the revolution itself is told in restrained measures, with no superfluous passages and only an occasional overemphasis of the part played by its leading figure.

Once the scene is set, Trevelyan skilfully builds up the tense story until it reaches its climax in the dramatic victory of Marlborough and Eugene of Savoy at Blenheim.

There is, of course, nothing new about dystopias, for they belong to a literary tradition which, including also the closely related satiric utopias, stretches from at least as far back as the eighteenth century and Swift's Gulliver's Travels to the twentieth century and Zamiatin's We, Capek's War With The Newts, Huxley's Brave New World, E. M. Forster's `` The Machine Stops '', C. S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength, and Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, and which in science fiction is represented before the present deluge as early as Wells's trilogy, The Time Machine, `` A Story Of The Days To Come '', and When The Sleeper Wakes, and as recently as Jack Williamson's `` With Folded Hands '' ( 1947 ), the classic story of men replaced by their own robots.

Beginning in Cloth Of The Tempest ( 1943 ) he experimented in merging poetry and visual art, using drawings to carry long narrative segments of a story, as in Sleepers Awake, and constructing elaborate `` poems-in-drawing-and-type '' in which it is impossible to distinguish between the `` art '' and the poetry.

The story of the fatal crash is not fully known.
